about

I recorded this song with my jaw wired shut over the summer after a procedure to have wisdom teeth pulled. Which means if you want to do something, you find ways. Follow and work at your "Dreams". Enjoy the song!

lyrics

Chorus:

Lately, I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin' bout
All my dreams
And I hope one day I can say that I achieve
All my dreams
Basically, yeah

Verse 1:

I been focused on what I want
My need to breathe, don't exceed, my hopes & dreams
Nah I'm just playin', I'm playing
Naysayers tried to come thru
Tried to drag me down with the excuse
That's it's much too hard, get a real job and take what you can get
Ohh I really don't subscribe
To livin' a life that ain't really mine
To tryin' to impress to gain the upside
Let's take the road that's less tried

I don't want a reality
That's linked to the chains of mediocrity
And so I strive for greater possibility
And reach beyond what comforts me

Chorus:

Lately, I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin' bout
All my dreams
And I hope one day I can say that I achieve
All my dreams
Basically, yeah

Verse 2:

Thru the storms and thru rain, I gave it time and I found my strength
And I made mistakes every cut and scrape
I bend but don't break
I fear of a life where I never try
Give up the dream, and time goes by
And I'd rather die than to go on, this joyless ride yeah

Cuz I say
Just who I wanna be
Cuz I say
Just what I wanna do
Cuz I say
Nobody can take it from you
Nobody else can do what you do yeah

I determine the life I lead
And what that looks like when I succeed
Now I'm on the path to my destiny
And keep pace to a steady beat

Chorus

Bridge:

I been focused on what I want
I been focused on what I want
Hold on to your dreams
Don't give up easily
Fight thru adversity
Believe in your dreams yeah

Chorus (repeat til end)
